Persia in Peckham: Recipes from Persepolis

2007 y.
Publisher: Prospect Books (UK)
Description: Persepolis is a foodie`s paradise. Sally Butcher and her husband Jamshid have created a food store from heaven, gathering all that`s best from Iran and the Middle East. Chef and food writer Tom Norrington Davies remarks that `Persepolis is my corner shop. But even if it wasn`t, I`d happily cross town and country to get there. Otherwise I`d miss the heady scent of their herbs and spices every time I opened my kitchen cupboards. Persepolis is an emporium in the true sense of the word. It feels exotic and local all at once, and this is, in no small part, thanks to Sally Butcher. She is always happy to give advice on everything from chick peas to hookahs with the same warm mix of humour, expertise and enthusiasm. And if the samovar is on you get all the above with a cuppa. Persepolis is the sort of place no neighbourhood should be without`. This book distills all that is remarkable about the shop and the style of cooking that it supports.

Aeschylus
Persians and Other Plays (Oxford World`s Classics)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Aeschylus is a towering figure in western literature, the first of the great Greek playwrights, a dramatist whose work still has the power to inspire and terrify readers and theatre-goers alike. The four plays in this volume demonstrate the full range and depth of Aeschylus`s genius. Persians is the only surviving tragedy to draw on contemporary history, the Greeks` extraordinary victory over Persia in 480 BC. In Seven Against Thebes, a royal family is cursed with self-destruction, in a remorseless tragedy that anticipates the grandeur of the later Oresteia. Suppliants portrays the wretched plight of the daughters of Danaus, fleeing from enforced marriage. And in the hugely influential Prometheus Bound, Prometheus is relentlessly persecuted by Zeus for benefitting mankind in defiance of the god. Christopher Collard`s highly readable new translation is accompanied by an introduction that sets the plays in their original context, by comprehensive explanatory notes on the language,… [detailed...]

Persistence of vision: Afterimage, Motion Perception, Phi Phenomenon, Beta Movement, Visual Perception, Light Writing, Iconic Memory, Digital Cinema, Digital Light Processing

2010 y.
Publisher: —
Description: High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Persistence of vision is the phenomenon of the eye by which an afterimage is thought to persist for approximately one twenty-fifth of a second on the retina.The myth of persistence of vision is the mistaken belief that human perception of motion (brain centered) is the result of persistence of vision (eye centred). The myth was debunked in 1912 by Wertheimer but persists in many citations in many classic and modern film-theory texts. A more plausible theory to explain motion perception (at least on a descriptive level) are two distinct perceptual illusions: phi phenomenon and beta movement. [detailed...]

Persistence/Transformation: Text as Image in the Art of Xu Bing

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The calligrapher and book artist Xu Bing has been called the most innovative Chinese artist of our time. As a citizen of both China and the United States and the first Asian-American artist to win the prestigious MacArthur Foundation `genius award,` Xu Bing has fascinated and challenged audiences around the world with his imaginative textual art. From his 4,000 unreadable Chinese-looking characters, which unite Asian and Western audiences alike in an egalitarianism of induced illiteracy, to his invention of a `square words` language that makes `Chinese` readable by anyone at all, Xu Bing`s use of language is at once artistically brilliant, highly entertaining, and profoundly subversive--a sharp-witted, masterly word-play that, in his own words, `strikes at the very essence of culture.` In exhibitions on four continents, Xu Bing`s printed art, mixed-media installations, and performance pieces--from books and calligraphic sculptures to inscribed pigs--have fascinated… [detailed...]

Persistent Disparity: Race and Economic Inequality in the United States Since 1945

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Persistent Disparity provides a comprehensive examination of the magnitude and scope of racial economic disparity in the United States. The authors directly assess the extent of black economic progress in the US since World War II and address thecontroversy of whether the racial income gap is closing or widening as America approaches the 21st century. Darity and Myers explicitly make the connection between what the theory of racial inequality espouses and corresponding policy recommendations for remedying such disparity such as affirmative action and reparations. The authors challenge the cultural-genetic explanation and advance a new theoretical explanation that incorporates a more expansive characterization of the nature and role of discrimination. They also conclude that conventional anti-discrimination efforts are unlikely to be sufficient to close the gap. This book will be essential reading for anyone interested in US social and economic history, political… [detailed...]

Thanks to her childhood friend Dina, Jodie narrowly escaped with her life and sent Paul to prison. Afterwards, she began a new life with Dina, but remained haunted by the trauma she endured at Paul?s hands. Ten years later, Paul is up for parole, and Jodie receives a mysterious phone call with a tantalizing offer: testify in favor of Paul?s release, so that another victim from his past can kill him. When Paul is released and turns up dead hours later, Jodie becomes the prime suspect. She and Dina find themselves fighting against the odds to keep Jodie from going to prison forever.

Description: The term person-centred care has been widely used, misused and ill defined. It is used frequently in the aims and objectives for dementia care services and provision, although in practice what lies behind the rhetoric can be questionable.

Dawn Brooker explains the four key elements of person centred care that comprise the VIPS model: Valuing people with dementia and those who care for them (V), treating people as Individuals (I), looking at the world from the Perspective of the person with dementia (P), and a positive Social environment in which the person living with dementia can experience relative well being (S). With an emphasis on practical application, Person Centred Dementia Care provides care organisations with clear, accessible guidelines on how to put the VIPS model into operation for effective care that is `fit for VIPs`.
